About this home
Welcome to this beautifully updated brick farmhouse on 5.36 acres in Fort Erie, backing onto approximately 120 acres of protected conservation land with a creek. Private pond with dock, wooded trails, paddocks, orchard and a 28x40 detached workshop garage on a quiet country road. Set up for homesteading, hobby farming or horses. Inside, the original wood staircase and banister, plank ceilings and beam details keep the farmhouse character. The two-storey family room has a cathedral above, the sitting room holds the woodstove and large windows look out to the pond. Country kitchen with plenty of counter space and a farm-style mudroom. A WETT-certified main-floor fireplace (2022) plus additional fireplaces help offset hydro costs. 3+1 bedrooms and 2 full plus 2 half baths, including a renovated primary, updated bedrooms and a renovated upstairs office. The lower-level fourth bedroom has its own 3-piece ensuite, ideal for guests, teens or extended family. Outside are apple, pear and hazelnut trees, about 9 raised garden beds, a livestock shed, chicken and guinea coops, firepit, above-ground pool, custom swing set, and room for fall hockey and baseball. The pond draws turtles, frogs, sunfish and herons, and freezes for winter skating. The river is a 15-minute walk. The garage fits 3 vehicles, with 60-amp service and a poured concrete floor on foundation walls. Updates include a steel roof (2020), most windows replaced, new back slider, new side deck and covered porch, copper wiring and plumbing (no knob-and-tube or aluminum), new hot water heater, pump and pressure tanks (2025, all owned), backup sump pump, and a generator hookup with surge protection. 3000-gallon septic pumped annually. Heat pump/AC quote on file. Start mornings on the back deck, walk your own woods in fall and skate your own pond in winter. QEW 3 minutes, shopping 8, Costco 16, St. Catharines just over 20. Real Fort Erie acreage and privacy without giving up everyday convenience.
